What are different countries doing to stop global warming?
I don’t believe in global warming myself, but I was just wondering what steps countries are taking to actually do something about what they believe with this issue. Are there actually any plans on how they’ll ‘stop’ global warming? Also, could someone tell me a bit about the Kyoto thing?
Read MoreWhy is Ethanol the targeted choice Alternative Fuel?
I just saw an article that gives a bunch of reasons NOT to use corn-based Ethanol. Especially since it’s one of our base grain foods. Why aren’t they going with Biodiesel – the veggie van, that was a great example. Plus in Texas, there’s a ton that runs all of their garbage trucks off greenenergy made from their landfill. Which they’ve in turn made into a fuel processing area. If you watch YouTube there are tons of alternative energy choices we could be making in the US. How do we get more people to discover what we have the ability to do now; then while we set it up and use it, continue to try improving it.
Why is it that things that make sense are so hard to get acted upon?
The largest problem with Ethanol is that it uses up fossil fuel to produce it. It isn’t efficient in production or in use. It doesn’t equal out production cost/energy to consumption/usage. So besides taking away a food source (read labels – corn, corn syrup, etc ) it also is more costly to produce it. Especially since they’re using old energy to create it. While biodiesel has been used for decades on farms and is cheaper to produce. So political seems to be the key to backing it would seem. How about a grassroots movement to choose biodiesel? Just as many states have chosen to honor the Kyoto plan dispite the gov’t not signing it. If they won’t do what we want, we enforce it state by state. If the gov’t has stopped working for the people – then the people need to start working for themselves.
What is the domestic public opinion on climate change in Canada?
I’m working on a research paper where I am to represent Canada in a Kyoto-like simulation. How do Canadians feel about Climate Change and what their country is doing to combat it?
Also, what is the stance of major political leaders?
THANKS!
